VCU rolls past Virginia Union in exhibition action

VCU men's basketball doesn't officially tip off its game schedule until next Friday, but Ram fans got an early taste of havoc at the Siegel Center on Thursday, as VCU hosted Virginia Union in an exhibition game to tune-up for the regular season.

The Rams jumped out to a big lead early and held a 56-17 advantage at the break. They were able to put it on cruise control in the second half and looked good in their only exhibition prior to the regular season.

Troy Daniels paced the Rams in scoring, dropping 19 points, 15 via the three pointer and 16 of which came in the first half. Briante Weber added 12 points, while Jarred Guest and Juvonte Reddic added ten points apiece. Treveon Graham led the team in rebounding with eight, while Darius Theus dished out eight assists and Weber tallied eight steals.

The Lancers have a lot of experience back from a team that finished 11-2 and advanced to the state quarterfinals. Head coach Tom Hall says that on paper, this year's team may have the best potential of any team he's coached, but he knows the proof is in the play.

Larry Berra spent some time in the Mets' minor league system, but after a career-ending knee injury, he started spending time on the softball field. Berra was in the Richmond area this past weekend managing his softball team from New Jersey, and shared stories of his Hall of Fame father, Yogi, who won 13 World Series titles with the Yankees.
